We want to celebrate Steve Wiseman and his new book "Duke Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline". Meet the author and get the book signed. -- Synopsis: "Duke Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline" traces the remarkable evolution of one of America's most storied college programs—from its humble beginnings in a tiny Trinity College gym in 1906 to its modern reign as a global basketball powerhouse. The journey begins with Wilbur "Cap" Card, who introduced James Naismith's new game to campus, and continues through decades of transformation led by visionary coaches like Eddie Cameron, Vic Bubas, and the legendary Mike Krzyzewski. Across more than a century, Duke basketball became a symbol of excellence, resilience, and reinvention. Readers will relive defining moments—the first battles with UNC; the construction of Cameron Indoor Stadium to the rise of Krzyzewski's dynasty that delivered five national championships. The story continues into the Jon Scheyer era, where new stars like Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer carry the "Brotherhood" into the future. Rich with historical detail, dramatic rivalries, and unforgettable personalities, "Duke Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline" celebrates the legacy of Duke basketball as more than a program—it's a living tradition of passion, precision, and pursuit of greatness that has shaped the soul of college basketball itself.
